Downloaded Updates Won't Install

[sammiev]

Looks like it's wants to update from the CD-Rom. I think and likely can be wrong but think they check marked CD-Rom updates in the resp.

[kevdog]

I'm wondering if deleting the offending file from the /var/cache/apt/archives folder prior to installation would help. Just a thought.

[iiiears]

you might just be able to rename the .lock file Haven done this so back it up.

[HiImTye]

I would give step 5 a try

Here are the results of trying step 5:

It's still hanging-up in same place. I waited 10 minutes for it to complete unpacking. Thanks to all for your help.
Forgot to mention that neither Ubuntu nor Mint are shutting down properly. I have to use computer's power button to shut them down. Some of the text from Ubuntu shutdown states "Checking for running unattended-upgrades:". I have no upgrade problems in Mint. Just won't shutdown properly. Don't know if problems are related or not.
